Enel Green Power North America (EGPNA) has started building a 65MW extension to the 235MW Chisholm View wind farm in the US.
The Chisholm View II project in Oklahoma will cost about $90m and be online by the end of the year, the company said.
Enel said all the electricity and renewable energy credits generated by the new project will be sold under a bundled long-term power purchase agreement.
It is the company’s second wind farm to start construction in Oklahoma this year, following the 108MW Drift Sand wind farm.
The developer owns and operates another six wind farm in Oklahoma with total capacity of more than 950MW.
“With the construction of Chisholm View II, EGPNA is further reinforcing its rapid growth strategy in the United States,” EGPNA head Rafael Gonzalez said.
“The new plant is part of our ongoing commitment to expand our operations in North America where we continue to reach new milestones, including a record 800MW currently under construction.”
